Sue

Therapist

Sue is an experienced therapist with clinical skills that are complimented by Eastern Medicine. She performs traditional massage and also is certified in Advanced Shiatsu, which is her specialty. Shiatsu massage is based on pressure points located across a person’s body. The principles of shiatsu say that a person’s qi (pronounced “chee”) flows through meridians, or pathways, and that a therapist can release blockages or imbalances of qi by applying pressure to “vital points”—specific locations along the meridians. This release provides therapeutic results for the client. Sue’s style is very flowing with a great sense of touch to identify those trouble spots.
